Yew, birch and ash equals pretty darn good!

This morning I put the final coat of finish on a bow I've been working on for a while. Not that it's been a particularly difficult bow to make. It's just that sometimes a particular project is, for whatever reasons, not particularly prioritized. I would work on it a little, then let it sit there for a few weeks before going at it again. Feels good to finally have it finished.

And it's a nice one! It doesn't look like much to the world – just a kind of short tri-lam (68,5 inches) made out of heartwood yew, birch and ash (in that order, from belly to back). It has a tad of string follow. It's not very heavy or with a long draw (just 37 pounds to 26 inches). Nock overlays and arrow pass inlay out of water buffalo horn. But I managed to really nail the cast on this one! It is quite eliptical in its tiller (it bends a lot towards the tips), and the tips are really narrow, just 4-5 mm or so. That does help the cast, making it smoother and less "shocky" to shoot. It's also low mass in general with a total mass just shy of 400 grams.

With a Fast Flight string and an arrow on the heavier side, it's an utter pleasure to shoot! I hope you like it!

(it's for sale, BTW)
